Sycamore Elementary School,

a tradition of Multi-Age Education

Many different pedagogical philosophies exist, with each philosophy having its individual strengths. At Sycamore, we strongly believe that all students need to be responsible for their learning, actions and choices. Therefore, we are committed to providing a multi-age developmental program, because this setting provides the best opportunity to present a child-centered learning environment. Listed below are some strengths/differences between the instructional presentation of a traditional classroom setting and a multi-age developmental classroom setting.

The following list of resources will introduce you to our unique muli-age environment.
